Hello,
the outline heading containing footnote definitions (as specified by
org-footnote-section) does not accept tags.
E.g. if you add a tag to this headline and then try to insert a footnote
via the org-footnote-action command, always a new headline without the
tag is created and the former footnote order gets spoiled.
I would be nice, if this could be fixed, such that org-footnote-section
can have tags (or even to-do keywords, drawers, etc.).
Thank you,
mc

You shouldn't put anything else than footnotes in the footnotes section.
It can be erased without notice, e.g., when sorting footnotes, and all
information inside, besides footnotes, will be lost.
See it as a reserved (optional) headline. Maybe the manual should be
more explicit about it.

Thanks for pointing this out. Is it possible to disable all the features, like
sorting, that erase without notice? I've got org-footnote-auto-adjust
set to nil, which looks like a step in the right direction, but I'm
wondering if there is more I can do.
My Tufte Org Mode files have LaTeX attributes associated with footnote
definitions and I don't want to lose them, if possible.
All the best,
Tom

The footnote themselves, along with any attributes associated to them,
are never erased.

Good news. Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you for the quick answer!
All right, deletion and recreation of the section is fine with me, as
long as the tags would be recreated as well.
Keeping the tags is actually crucial to my practice, since I run some
filters during export based on tags.
Couldn't the algorithm be adopted to check for tags assigned to the
org-footnote-section and then re-create them as well?
Including this feature would be tremendously helpful and shouldn't do
harm to anybody else.
Best,
mc

Footnote section is special, so, in a sense, is a tag on its own.
Besides, export process completely ignores this section. So, I'm not
sure about what you want to achieve with tagging it. Would you want to
elaborate a bit?

Thanks for inviting me to elaborate.
Well, I wrapped the exporter mechanism into some advice functions that
allow for many different exports from a single file in such a manner that
multiple exports are not restricted to subtrees.
This extended export mechanism collects sections as marked by tags.
This is why, I need to tag the org-footnote-section as well.
Best regards,
mc

Not sure to understand this.

Why don't you also collect systematically the footnote section?

Never mind, I shall explain and release all the hack, if there is more time.

Because, tags are a general and convenient way of collecting sections
and I'like to avoid special where ever possible.
All in all, below are the tiny changes I was looking for,
marked in comments as 'hack'.

OK.

Well, `org-footnote-section' is special, but it's really easy to know if
you're at a footnote section.
Besides, you may as well set it to nil, so as to not bother at all.
